The 2022-2023 NFL season kicks off tomorrow. One day until the world emerges from months of lonely, dark wandering through the barren wilderness that is the “off-season.” I kid, of course, this website wouldn’t have a purpose if I only cared about one sport; that said this is still the best time of the year. The NFL is hard to top in terms of excitement and intrigue and this year will be no different.

Tanking is a part of sports. It has been for a while now. For a long time however, the NFL remained absent of blatant tanking. The Lions and Browns were viewed as laughing stocks for decades.
